An implementation scheme of the adaptive fiber-optic laser hydrophone with a membrane-type fiber-optic sensor as a sensitive element is proposed and studied. The sensor signal is phase demodulated using an adaptive holographic interferometer whose key element is a dynamic hologram formed in a photorefractive CdTe crystal. The hydrophone is distinguished by high noise immunity and high sensitivity (-117 dB rel. to 1 V/μPa at a frequency of 4.9 kHz) providing stable detection of hydroacoustic signals with an acoustic pressure from 31 dB (rel. to 20 μPa) in the dynamic range to 42 dB (at 9.6 kHz).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
